Anyone who isn’t supporting using runtime rewritten by an LLM is obviously “doesn’t get it” and a luddite.

But in this case, the yt-dlp maintainers didn't actually evaluate the rewrite yet, they just declared they wouldn't support it, sight unseen.

Not really an argument on its merits.

OSS is not a testing ground for rewrites made by hyperscalers. Bun is free to fork yt-dlp and prove it is stable enough.

That’s the fun part no one has evaluated the rewrite yet! Not even the bun team!

Claude says it’s all good though so what could go wrong

Why is it their job to evaluate a 1m+ line code rewrite?
